Thanks for your help, bearscreek, I did read all through that, ethyl maltol seemed like a good addition but they have a little trouble mixing it (for smoothing). So I guess I'll just have to guess, I just want a very mild tobacco flavor, no frills, so to speak. Little more than the VG+nic. Have been using JC but they went away from the "real" tobacco flavors and added more PG to their non-PG mix. Vg alone isn't bad, I think I could stand that, but a little boring. PG kills me.
NOTE: Did get another response from "misty" and assured me the maltol mixes ok, just as you said bearscreek. Thanks again!

I didn't really have any big trouble mixing the ethyl maltol. I don't know about all tobacco absolute, but what I got from the Perfumer's Apprentice (or wherever) was pretty good. It takes a VERY small amount. Actually, I think tobacco absolute and PG, VG or whatever alone would be good.
Ok, but still unclear how to mix ethyl maltol into a dissolved liquid form, but have left a post on "best attempt.." this is a first for me, but think it will be ok! So far ingredients are super cheap, including the 36mg VG. Much less than my usual order for 4 - 30ml bottles of JC. If worse comes to worst, I can always mix in my JC to cover myself flavor wise, but those tobacco flavors are pretty strong to me, way too much vanilla, 30% PG, and as I said, not made with real tobacco anymore. I like things to be "real"! Thanks for your help! Do you mix all of your own juice?

Oh, no, not at all. I've tried things here and there, but I really don't think the Lorann's flavors that I like (coffee for instance) like my atomizers, so I really don't mix much at all. I think the mixture we were discussing above isn't too bad, though. I keep myself pretty well stocked on cheap Chinese juices.
I'm on the same quest. Those deserty flavors from LorAnn's that I've been mixing into PG+VG (50/50) with my "chemistry set" are nice ... but I like a tobacco flavor (solo like Marlboro or Winston ... or gussied up like, 555, Hilton, RY4, mentholated, etc.) for most of my vaping.
According to Nuck's recipe, it seems that the ethyl maltol from Perfumer's Apprentice aready is in a dissolved liquid form. It's the menthol crystals* that need to be disolved ... and the tobacco absolute that needs to be dilluted.
* Since I'm lazy, I'm just going to use a pre-liquified form menthol, either the Mentol Drops from Juicy Liquid or the Menthone from Perfumer's Apprentice.
